Vanessa's mentor and friend, Dr. Imogen Coe, holds many distinctions: Professor of Critical Thinking in Biomedical Sciences, award-winning scholar-activist, former Dean of Science, STEM thought leader, and all-around academic badass.  But her finest achievement yet?  Being the first returning guest on Math Therapy!

Imogen joined us in 2020 to talk about breaking systemic barriers in STEM fields, and she returns today to explore pressing topics like:

  • how our "math identity" impacts our entire self-worth
  • how our sense of belonging relates to representation
  • should scientists be emotional or creative?
  • how questioning one's beliefs is actually very scientific
